Ultrasound results and tests

Dr. Tseng's nurse finally called back. Yes, there is fluid. There is also a fiberous cystic mass around my right ovary. They think it is scar tissue from surgery, but he wants to see me and schedule an exploratory lapcroscopic procedure to break up the tissue and look around. The appointment is next Wednesday at noon.

Dr. Werner called immediatly afterwards with the same idea about how to proceed. She also noted a small abnormality on my right kindey as well. To rule out Kidney problems she ordered a 24 urine test.

Christy took me up to the lab for the test. No blood drawn but I went home with a care package of a hat and large bottle. The hat sits in the toilet and collects urine which I then transfer to the large bottle and refrigerate. If you are planning to visit soon, please do not drink from the large bottle of lemonade in the fridge.

I can't start the test until Sunday mornign since they need 24 hours of urine starting in the morning and they are closed on Saturday.

If there is kidney problems, that would explain the lower right back tenderness.

So the earliest it looks like will be feeling better is not next week, not the week after (dr. Tseng is gone) but the week after that. I'll probably know more after next week's appointment.

Meanwhile how am I supposed to finish packing when I have no energy. If I was a genie or something I coudl wiggle my nose and get the things done that I look aroudn the roo mand wish I had energy to do.

And its not like I am living in dire pain - it is hard to explain. I feel "fine" while sitting down, but the thought of walking upstairs seems like big task. I can do it though. So how much do I keep pushing and how much do I jsut rest?

God, you have taken me through a valley or two. I know you will lead me though this one. Give me your grace to trust in your timing.
